Jason Aldean is set to headline CMT's upcoming fall tour with special guest, Lady Antebellum. Newcomer Eric Durrance will also be on the bill as the opening act. Jason follows in the footsteps of past CMT headliners that include Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts and most recently, Sugarland. Aldean says, "It is such a surreal feeling to look behind the bus and see semi trucks with my name on them. Even as this thing grows, our fans are the same young kids that have always come out to the club shows. They come to forget about school or work or whatever and have a good time, so that's what we are going to give them!" "CMT On Tour '08: Jason Aldean" kicks off October 8 at Western Carolina University and continues through November 22. Tickets for the first weekend will go on sale August 22 at cmtontour.cmt.com and ticketmaster.com.
